optional textbooks

There are several "optional" textbooks listed for my nursing program.

Which optional or additional nursing textbooks have you found to be most helpful ?

The books I use most are my drug guide book, nursing care plan book, and my Saunder's NCLEX book. I use them all the time.

they are definitely worth buying if in any doubt you will forsee any academic issues. i like to be prepared. i like having everything i need to do what is needed right in front of me. if that means buying more books then so be it. if it is going to help me with my studying, then i'll purchase them. i'd rather have them ahead of time and sitting there for me to read, than waiting and wishing i would've purchased them sooner.[/quote']

exactly!!! keep in mind many of these optional books can be purchased on amazon used for very little money. i just bought 2 optional books that cost me a whopping $2.00 !!!

to me, its worth it if i need to write a paper and conveniently have the "extra" information i need to complete it in these books. now if the optional books are super expensive i would definitely ask previous students to find out what the census is on the usage of that text.

last thing, you can sell books back on amazon and get most of the money you spent on the book, that is, if it is a current edition.
